Tech N9ne: My mom being sick… she’s doing real good now, but I almost lost her. Was there something that happened recently that brought this out in your art? it seemed that spiritual battle was more intense and more personal. Parlé: With all your albums you had that thematic dichotomy of angel and demon, but with the last album K.O.D. I think I have a lot to offer with my music, a lot people can relate to. But I want everybody to be there, If you ask Busta Rhymes who who gives the best live shows, he’s going to say his camp and Tech N9ne. I love the people who do show love, they take care of my kids… having a following is a beautiful thing.

Of course I want my people there, my music is supposed to be for everybody. I got a song on there called “Message to the Black Man” and it’s me asking “why I don’t see y’all at my shows?” All these white folks are at my shows and they are getting this beautiful music and y’all are missing it. Parlé: Sometimes when you look at the demographics of the crowds who attend your shows, do you wish that more black people were up on it.
